We believe that the hands-on word sorting approach to word study is invaluable to you and your students. These
stage-specific companion volumes to Words Their Way: Word Study for Phonics, Vocabulary, and Spelling
Instruction provide a complete curriculum of reproducible sorts and detailed directions for the teacher working with
students in each stage of spelling development, from emergent through derivational relations.
Broaden your word study understanding and instruction with this expanded word sorting tool for week by week
imiplementation with Letter Name-Alphabetic spellers (Grades K - 3). This collection of sorts includes both picture
and word sorts for students who are in the letter name-alphabetic stage of spelling development, beginning
readers. Sorting lessons begin with picture sorts that quickly review initial consonants and then cover same-vowel
word families and digraphs and blends. These sorting activities are followed by a short vowel study apart from
word families and continue reviewing digraph and blends in CVC words. The last sorts introduce r-controlled
vowels and contractions.

The Vocabulary Teacher’s Book of Lists offers content for literally hundreds of vocabulary improvement lessons
for elementary and secondary teachers, self-improving adults, home schoolers, and students studying for their
SATs. While there are dozens of shorter high interest lists of words, the core of the book is based on Latin and
Greek roots and prefixes. But the largest list is Homophones. In fact it is one of the largest lists of homophones
you will ever use. This list, like many others, is appropriate for spelling lessons or writer’s reference as well as
vocabulary improvement. There are two dozen teaching methods in the Methods chapter and teaching
suggestions to help improve reading and writing are scattered throughout the book. The lessons can be as short
as a word-a-day or as long as a school year. The range of difficulty can go from upper elementary to college
freshman classes, and be as diverse as adult education to English language learners.

FAVORITE books!)
In productive classrooms, teachers don't just teach children skills: they build emotionally and relationally healthy
learning communities. Teachers create intellectual environments that produce not only technically competent
students, but also caring, secure, actively literate human beings. Choice Words shows how teachers accomplish
this using their most powerful teaching tool: language. Throughout, Peter Johnston provides examples of
apparently ordinary words, phrases, and uses of language that are pivotal in the orchestration of the classroom.
Grounded in a study by accomplished literacy teachers, the book demonstrates how the things we say (and don't
say) have surprising consequences for what children learn and for who they become as literate people. Through
language, children learn how to become strategic thinkers, not merely learning the literacy strategies. In addition,
Johnston examines the complex learning that teachers produce in classrooms that is hard to name and thus is
not recognized by tests, by policy-makers, by the general public, and often by teachers themselves, yet is vitally
important.

We've learned a lot in recent years about the important role vocabulary plays in making meaning, yet many teachers
still struggle with vocabulary instruction that goes beyond weekly word lists. Effective vocabulary instruction is
particularly vital in the content areas, where the specialized language used by “insiders” often creates a barrier to
understanding for those new to the subjects.

words for instruction; developing student-friendly explanations of new words; creating meaningful learning activities;
and getting students involved in thinking about, using, and noticing new words both within and outside the
classroom. Many concrete examples, sample classroom dialogues, and exercises for teachers bring the material to
life. Helpful appendices include suggestions for trade books that help children enlarge their vocabulary and/or have
fun with different aspects of words.
